Sheiia
I woke up in a familiar room. Mabilis kong pinalibot ang aking paningin to make sure na alam ko kung nasaan ako.
Yes, I am here at Ashley's room. Yung kwarto niyang talaga. She's nowhere but I hear the water from the shower inside the bathroom.
Iba na din ang damit na suot ko.
My old pajama pair.
Hindi ko alam kung sinong nagbihis sa akin. Ang alam ko lang, Vera's not here since sa Quezon daw siya didiretso.
Probably it's Ash.
I blushed on the thought. Alam ko din namang wala na akong maitatago pa kay Ash pero still, nakakahiya pa ring isiping siya ang nagbihis sa akin.
Who else could it be?
Then I remembered what happened. Mula sa resort sa Batangas, sa flowershop, coffee shop, sa pagkasira ng sasakyan ko sa daan, sa lalaking lasing at sa pagdating ni Ash.
Lord, why are making this hard for me?
Sa dami ng darating para tumulong sa akin, si Ash pa talaga.
I was stunned when the bathroom door opened at iniluwa nito ang nakatapis lang ng tuwalya na si Ash. She's naked from chest to waist.
Mabilis kong ibinaling sa ibang direksyon ang aking paningin. Damn, eto na naman siya sa pagka rated SPG niya!
Mukha din itong nagulat na gising na ako pero parang wala lang na dumiretso ito sa closet nito para kumuha ng sando na susuutin. It looks like she's using this room again.
Sa iba pa rin ako nakatingin sa buong durasyon ng pagbibihis niya. Naiilang ako sa sitwasyon naming dalawa. Knowing that her girlfriend has just talked to me last night.
She slowly sat at the edge of the bed, looking directly to my eyes. I startled when she held my hand and gave me a warm hug.
"Damn. You made me worried sick."
I was left speechless. Para akong nabatubalani sa taong nasa harapan ko ngayon. Her eyes speaks of something I don't want to think about. Of something I don't think will still be possible.
"I don't know what to do if something bad happened to you, Lerise. God, I almost had that man shot."
Her eyes shouts with full sincerity. Pilitin ko mang ipagwalang bahala ang lahat, mas lalo akong hinihigop ng kanyang mga titig.
Remembering how she came to save me. How I climbed out my car just to hug her. And how she tightly hugged me back, under the rain. Everything feels like a dream. Her. Me. Us.
God, please. Please. Don't make me do this.
"I love you, Lerise. God, I love you so much. Please, please come back to me."
I felt my cheeks became wet of the tears that escaped my eyes as I saw her knelt down the floor. Hinawakan niya ang aking mga kamay at puno ng sinseridad na nakatingin sa akin.
Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko. My heart's beating so fast I can't cope up with its pace.
Mariin kong ipinikit ang aking mata, trying to get hold of the last bit of self-control I have inside me. I don't want to ruin a relationship. I don't want to be a wrecker.
"Baby please."
I heaved out a sigh. Damn, this was never my intention. I thought I will be fine. I thought she's fine. I thought we're fine.
